SOHI (そひ)

SOHI/そひ is a Synthesizer V Web FANLOID character.

History
SOHI was created using Synthesizer V Web on a school laptop while bored, the creator (Sicknd444), decided that he liked the sound of a gender-parameter edited Saki as opposed to her regular voice. Noticing that there were no fan-characters for Synth V (excluding fan-designs), he decided to make her an official fanloid. The first ever Synth V fanloid.

Concept
SOHI's design choice was based on the concept of a gothic lolita idol. The colors most noteable in her design are pink, black, and red. SOHI is meant to represent a more playful and performance-based side of Saki. She's commonly depicted as eager to put on a show, as well as being a super intricate fashionista. SOHI also represents the duality of idol-styled vocal synths. With her gothic centric style, and contrasting light vs dark color scheme, she represents how vocal synths can be used for both super cute and super dark songs. She can also be drawn wearing pastel goth fashion for the same reason.

Etymology
SOHI's name is meant to sound similar to her voice source, Saki. さき (Saki) means "hope blossom" in Japanese, and is a very common flower-themed name in Japan. "さ" ("sa") can also translate to "difference", which inspired SOHI's duality-themed concept. The name SOHI is actually a common Italian name, however, in Japanese it translates to "ancestor fire". "そ" ("so") can also be written in Kanji as "俎", which roughly translates to "altar of sacrifice". "ひ" ("hi") can also be written as "非", which roughly translates to "unfavorable" or "error". Her name is meant to be extremely dark, to further represent her gothic style, as well as contrasting with her cheerful personality and appearance.

Appearance
SOHI has dark black hair with dyed pink tips at the end, not including her choppy bangs. Her hair is commonly seen placed into two pigtails. She wears a headband with a red bow and white lace. SOHI's eyes are a light pink, noticeably lacking a "shine" to them. Her eyebrows are very thin. Her skin is very pale. She's commonly seen wearing a pink frilly dress that has a collar resembling a stereotypical Japanese sailor outfit, and the shoulders are noticeably cropped. The dress has a lot of smaller red bows and ribbons, as well as one big red ribbon at the end of the dress's white collar.
